By 3:45 pm on October 18 the sun was low in the sky. Paulette and Carole walked ahead of me as we returned from a brisk loop in the Parc naturel du mont Bélair. I asked them to advance slowly into the backlit scene as I adjusted my camera settings and composed this shot. I love the red maple leaves carpeting the path and the transition from shadow in the foreground to the bright highlights in the background.
Taken in RAW I developed it using Lightroom 3: light cropping and straightening; lowered exposure, medium contrast curve; increased vibrance to highlight the reds; a little output sharpening and voila!
Canon 7D, 15-85 mm lens at 46 mm, ISO 200, 1/100 sec, f/5.6
